>> i think it's adorable, hoda. >> it's awesome. i love it. there's a lot of football controversy. i know we're not a sports program, but you need to know this information, it's important for all of us. the nfl is having a news conference in the next few minutes or so. here's the story, last night the seahawks were playing the packers. >> on espn monday night football. >> they were losing. the seahawks were losing by five. it's one of the hail marys that they throw the last few seconds. seahawks threw the pass into the end zone, then it was up for grabs. here it comes. okay, watch closely. >> okay, that's hard to tell on that. looks kind of like the green bay guy had it. >> and the refs, one guy is saying it's a touchdown another guy is saying another call that we don't understand. look, who's got it? looks like green bay. we don't know what happened right in there. looks like green bay has it. >> the replacement revs, that's the crux of the issue, replacement refs. it took them ten minutes to watch the replay over and over

and over and over. >> they're in seattle so the fans must have been going crazy. >> after ten minutes they came out and ruled it a touchdown for seattle, game over. everyone went crazy because the replacement refs are getting a lot of heat because they are probably not as good as the regular refs. >> you think? imagine that. >> it's some kind of a lockout thing with money. someone said in a report that the dispute is over about $3 million. >> $3.3, i understand. >> thank you for reading. but the nfl makes kazillions. >> as in about $8 billion. >> yeah. so i don't know anything about this dispute? but i say pay the $3 million and get the guys who know what they're doing back on the field. >> if it were your 3 million? ? >> if i had $10 kazillion i'd give $3 million of my $8 billion. we're going to give you the latest details when we

understand what's going on. here's the interesting thing too. >> this has been going on for a couple of days now. belichick, the coach of the patriots was upset about a call. watch what he does when he's upset about a call. okay, it was about whether it was good or not. now watch. he wanted to talk to the ref, he claims and couldn't get a response. what does he do? hey, hey, you. i'm talking to you. the guy runs past him. he says he just wanted to have a conversation. >> yeah, a nasty one. >> anyway, looks like bad sportsmanship all the way around. >> the trouble is, i know tensions are high. look at us around here with what goes on, but you have to treat one another with dignity and respect, hoda, no matter what. how many times have i told you? >> and i think it is a crummy message because kids are crazy about football. watching coaches going after each other. >> they see parents behaving badly at little league, adults behaving badly on the sidelines and wonder why we get angry with them while they behave badly. >> talk about behaving badly?

>> this is unbelievable. if you ever want to flag a taxi in new york, it is a contact sport sometimes, you need the cab, raining, shift change. >> maybe waiting for a half hour for one. >> you want that cab. this could be the equivalent if you live in the suburbs when you see a parking spot, hold on, waiting for it, someone pulls in. look at these two guys on the street. they are physically fighting. headlock. >> bigger one got it. >> oh, oh, i'm getting in. >> let me tell you something -- >> shouldn't laugh. >> punched him kind of in the head and sent him on his way with a nice little slam of the door. >> have a nice day! >> but i got to tell you it's frustrating when you're standing on a street corner. here's the deal, you're flagging a cab and somebody sees you and walks a block ahead of you so they get the cab before you make a cab. >> after making eye contact with

you. >> they know that you know. the weirdest thing i got into a cab and i didn't realize there was a cab strike, okay, but there were a few cabs going around anyway making lots of money. so i get in the cab and all of a sudden the guy stops up to pick somebody else. you can only have one passenger. i said what are you doing? >> he goes, are you stupid? he starts screaming. he throws the newspaper back at me on my lap and says cab strike and is screaming are you stupid over and over again. >> and what was your answer? >> you know what -- >> what did you tell him? >> and i said, who's stupid, you're the one who's picking up all the fares while your friends are out on strike! i thought that was a good one. >> wasn't that great? i didn't know what to say. i was upset, didn't know there was a strike, i'm yelling at the guy. >> hoda, oh, hoda, you kill me every day. >> any way.

apparently, something nice is happening in the world, carrie underwood, who doesn't love? >> sweet woman. >> she was doing a concert and apparently this kid was holding up a sign, 12-year-old boy, holding up a sign that read, would you can my first kiss? so she stops. this is what ensued. >> invited him up on the stage. >> what's your name? >> chase. >> very nice to meet you, chase, how old are you? >> 12. >> 12 years old. >> i was 14 when i had my very first kiss. just so you know, my husband is somewhere in this building back stage. he might be looking for ya later. how are we going to do this. >> lips to lips. >> oh! close your eyes. >> how cute is that? >> the rest of his life, carrie underwood gave him his first kiss.

how sweet is she? and how sweet is that moment? >> i think about all the shows i did in vegas, tahoe, reno, you know how many times i gave somebody their last kiss? i mean -- i would go out and find the oldest baldest guys i could find and try to give them a little thrill before it's all over. hey, we all do what we can do to make the world a better place for people. >> aren't you sweet and caring? all right, did you watch "the voice" last night? michelle brooks thompson belted out "proud mary," and it caused everyone to turn their chairs except blake, take a look. >> wow! ♪ might have been you know the ♪ and the proud mary keeps on burning ♪ ♪ rolling, rolling, rolling on
